down boy

would you mind explaining to me what a

guru is

Guru is one of them teachers over to

India they know all the secrets of the

Far East they teach you how to meditate

go out of your mind

I think you're getting the hang of that

I mean you go out of one mind into

another mine

it's hard for a game you not have my

education well uh put it to your simple

like

can you think of my head as a watermelon

yeah I think I can manage that there's

two parts to a watermelon you got the

Rhine on the outside and the meat on the

inside well most folks thanks with

nothing but the ride

but you take school lessons and you bust

a rock to the Rhine into the meat

now he's thinking with the inner mind

you got it made you've done conquered

the flesh you can handle cobras you can

sleep on a bed of nails you could even

walk Barefoot through a bed of hot coals

not a call for that is it

he's more

he fills you with kindness and love too

keeps you understand

you're making sense uh so that's what

you have to

oh I'm after the movie actresses the

guru get who the actresses these wild

about gurus Uncle Jeff that goes clean

to India just to see him

I put the secrets of the Far East into

this sixth grade graduate brain of mine

they just walk to me too can't you just

see Elizabeth Taylor and me walking arm

and arm Barefoot on a bed of hot cold

I like that part about love and

understanding better don't worry about

that I'm going to have love and

understanding who's not of me like sap

out of his

you sure you can learn all that just

hanging in the Arbutus

then your guy exercises was just my

homework I think I got a real Guru

me stand in the way of your spiritual

growth

arrangements for your transport

short trip yeah you're right she can

stand see if they'll give you a discount

for that where would you just let her

ride with the luggage oh no they may

charge by the pound

gonna be worth five bucks to get her out

pay big money to get rid of their wives

for a while well I might turn this into

a profitable sideline draw perform

letter happiness

sum of 100 I will have my personal Guru

send your wife to India that is the

lowest no you're right you're right make

it 200.

[Music]

stand on my head if I was you well

Jethro's been doing it he claims it

reveals new powers of the brain well in

your case it might reveal a little too

much well come on we can go in the front

Jordan practice no no uh don't do that

well I download Jethro to get too much

smarter than me I wouldn't worry

well if you ask me if you're going to

give him a flat head and droopy ears

anybody that hankers to walk on hot

colds and lay on a bed of nails ain't

too burdened with the smarts

oh get well where are you sounds like

granny's getting tired looking for the

boy well she ain't gonna find him

anymore chores for him and ain't none he

can do standing on his head yes

do it all I have arranged a special

Charter flight to carry my little

pilgrims

all the many of us making the pilgrimage

to Mother India oh yes yes my dear it is

a huge plane I call it the great mother

flight how much will it be

because of your spiritual sensitivity

I'm making you a special reduced rate

only uh two thousand dollars oh that's

very reasonable of course that doesn't

include any extras extras or things like

food water place to sleep how much will

they come to oh you're 750 dollars

dear it is beginning to mount up oh but

but that includes such bonus extras as

your own personal meditation mat a float

trip down the Ganges the Moonlight tour

of the Taj Mahal

oh that sounds very exciting

and for another fifty dollars you can

touch an Untouchable

I don't think I'd want to touch an

Untouchable oh well in that case it'll

be a hundred okay it might start a riot

they're very touching The Untouchables

twenty eight hundred dollars

well once you make it three thousand

I'll throw in a mongoose I don't want a

mongoose oh that's good you're not

afraid of cobras I'll take the Mongoose

wouldn't let new money stand in the way

of my spiritual growth

dum dum

I must have been in a trance one of the

deepest I've ever seen how about it my

Guru now

almost there's just one little

technicality before my Institute to give

you a guru license

you mustn't practice without one and the

authorities picked them up all the time

in India bootleg gurus Lions true enough

sure horrible way to go

very very painful

gurus don't feel no pain without a

license they do

oh well how much a mere fifty thousand

dollars fifty thousand dollars look now

of course now that's for a worldwide

license

spend much time in Madagascar or out of

Mongolia

hardly none in that case we'll give you

a domestic license good in the United

States Canada and Mexico I'll take one

how much

25 000. 25

000. tell you what I'm going to do son I

like to cut of your soul how much can

you pay

50 cents

50 cents that's the whole week's

allowance what about the 80 million well

that belongs to Michael Jett he said I

don't get my share until I reach the

Edge of Reason I pay

but that's just a guru incantation I

might be able to get in advance from

Uncle Jed uh and I hardly think you'll

go for 25 000. well then we'll cut out

Canada and Mexico that'll bring it down

to 15 000.

uh

do you travel a great deal in Maine

Wyoming and South Dakota no sir good

that makes it possible for me to issue

you what we call a limited domestic

license

how much 5 000. I'll ask

that kind of a license will I be able to

walk on hot coals and lay on nails warm

ashes and carpet taxes

[Music]

I have advance of five thousand dollars

on madari you're Dowry you know what I

get when I reach the Age of Reason you

mess up any more of my sheets and you

ain't gonna reach it

for tomorrow Rishi for what you call a

limited domestic Guru in license

if I go to Guru and without it the

hyenas will get you okay

please let me have it Uncle Jeff for

only five thousand dollars the guru will

learn me the secrets of the Far East

truth out of them a granny he's a guest

in our house and you ain't going to

stomp him there's another way I'll give

him a shot of my Tennessee truth tonic
